On March 20, 2011 the website SpaceObs.org marked its first anniversary. During this time the site has come a long way – from hundreds of visitors per month to thousands of visitors a day! You can see the statistics on the number of guests and visits on the histogram at left. Most of those visitors to the site have come searching for the truth about Comet Elenin, and this is the place where new objective data about the comet is regularly published. There is less than half a year until perihelion, and only 7 months left before closest approach to the Earth. I am sure that the number of guests to the site will continue to grow, and we will delight in new interesting discoveries and interesting information about our common home – the Solar System.

Sincerely
Leonid Elenin
